WALTHAM, Mass. -- The Brandeis University men's soccer team
dropped its second straight University Athletic Association (UAA)
home game today as the Judges fell to Washington University, the
No. 21 team in the nation, by a 2-0 score.
Washington (10-3-0, 3-1-0 UAA) got all the scoring they needed in
the 29th minute. Junior Kellen Hayes (Haworth, N.J.), who checked
into the game just 30 seconds earlier, took a feed from junior Eric
Hill (Great Falls, Va.) and buried it for his fourth goal of the
season. The Bears doubled their lead in the 51st minute. After the
ball bounced around off several players' heads, sophomore Nat
Zenner (Evanston, Ill.) settled and blasted it home from just
outside the box for his fourth tally of the season.
Brandeis (6-6-2, 0-4-0 UAA), which was outshot in the first half,
12-2, increased their pressure in the second half, putting four of
their eight shots on goal, but the Judges were unable get past a
stingy WashU defense and sophomore netminder John Smelcer (St.
Louis, Mo.). Smelcer had five saves for his fifth shutout of the
season and the team's eighth overall. Brandeis sophomore goalie
Taylor Bracken (No. Andover, Mass.) made a season-high 11 stops in
the losing effort.
Brandeis is back in action on Wednesday night in a non-conference
showdown at Springfield College at 7:00 p.m.
